Biologist giving to tour was excellent. Our guide gave plenty of useful information about what to expect to see and a detailed plan for our group. The tour surpassed expectations and for the cost of the tour I’d say this tour is a very good value. After about 30 minutes of the 45 minute tour my hands and feet were getting cold so I’ll ask for a wetsuit the next time I take the tour.

A tu per tu con i pesci

mariella_c, Aug 2021

L'esperienza dello snorkeling mai provata prima, l'ho fatta oggi domenica 29 agosto con le mie figlie ed è stata stupenda! Il giovane che ci ha istruito su quali pesci avremo visto, aiutato nell'equipaggiarci e accompagnato durante tutta la "gita" è stato bravissimo, molto paziente e chiaro. Complimenti!!!!

Guida gentile e preparata

Ale, Jul 2021

La guida è stata gentilissima e molto preparata. L’orario indicato sul sito è quello in cui il tour parte, quindi bisogna arrivare almeno 20 minuti prima. Sconsiglio di andare in macchina: non ci sono parcheggi nei dintorni.

esperienza eccellenten
